"Doctor Wang, thank you for your guidance. Listening to a gentleman's words is better than reading for ten years. I still have a long way to go in terms of psychological counseling. I hope to catch up to you as soon as possible."
The young sanatorium psychiatrist bowed sincerely to Wang Ke.
This was admiration from the bottom of his heart,
Because just now, Wang Ke had not only answered his long-standing confusion in a few aspects, but he had also given him a copy of some of his classic cases and analysis of his illness over the years.
Every industry, regardless of whether it was foreign or foreign, actually had a tradition of sweeping away their own treasures. However, Wang Ke's frank attitude of helping the younger generation had indeed moved and conquered him.
"You're welcome, Doctor Zhao. If there's a chance in the future, we can communicate more. After all, as you can see, I expect to stay here for a long time."
"It's my honor. Thank you."
Doctor Zhao bowed again and left.
Wang Ke took a deep breath and sat back behind the chair. After coughing a few times, he took out a cigar box from the drawer and prepared to light a cigar.
He could give people a feeling of spring breeze when he treated anyone. This was his work habit and also his philosophy of life.
Before he picked up the cigar, a message was sent on his phone. It was a message from an unmarked phone number. There were only three words:
"I'm here"
Wang Ke replied with two words:
"Come in"
Soon, the door was pushed open. The security system inside the sanatorium was very strict. The fact that the other party could enter directly showed that the other party's identity was extraordinary.
The other party was wearing a black coat, and his figure was a little hunched. When he walked in, he habitually closed the door, then sat down on the sofa and poured himself some tea.
This was a person who was nearly fifty years old. You could not call him an old man, because fifty years old was not considered old
You could not call him a middle-aged man, because he was no longer considered old
In short..,
This was a very awkward age,
It was so awkward that the half-black and half-white hair on his head was telling all of this.
"Cough cough..."
The other party coughed heavily twice and took out a medicine bottle from his pocket. He poured out two capsules and drank some water. He raised his head and heard two "Gulp gulp gulp" sounds. Then, he lowered his head heavily and panted continuously.
"I'm dying."
The other party's voice was a little hoarse, but this hoarseness did not give off a feeling of weakness. Instead, it was like a ferocious tiger lying in wait. Whoever dared to underestimate him would suffer a backlash.
"I know."
Wang Ke nodded and put down the cigar because he knew that the man in front of him couldn't smell smoke now if he wanted to live for a few more days.
The man raised his head and looked at the cigar. He opened his chapped lips and licked them with his tongue. He looked like he was drooling, but he still yawned and lowered his head again. He spread his hands and looked at the calluses on his palms.
He said in a deep voice,
"Two years ago, I asked you if you needed me to do it, and you told me to wait. Do you know how I felt at that time?"
"The feeling of wanting to kill me."
Wang Ke replied calmly.
The old man smiled a little proudly. "My children, including my personal doctor, all say that it's a medical miracle that I'm still alive.
But they don't know why. "
"So, you have to thank me."
"Thank you?"
The man raised his head abruptly. His eyes were bloodshot as he growled in a hoarse voice,
"Thank you for making me suffer for two more years?
Two years ago, I was diagnosed. When the doctor gave me a three-month deadline, I frantically called you to return the favor I owed you. You refused. You told me to wait!
It was you.
You made me unwilling to owe you a favor and leave.
It was you.
You made me suffer from two more years of illness for nothing!
I thank you.
I really have to thank you! "
"Two years ago, it was indeed not suitable," Wang Ke replied.
"You were the one who was terrified."
"Yes, I was the one who was terrified. Two years ago, those two people had just been released from prison. If they suddenly died, it would be easy for them to link it to me.
I can't take the risk of any accidents.
I can't take the risk of any accidents happening to me! "
"Hehe, I know. It's not easy for a child who came out of an orphanage to struggle to this day. That's why I can endure this kind of hatred, afraid of losing everything I have.
"Do you know?
Based on my experience of living for half a century, sometimes the more you are afraid of losing something, the easier it is to lose something. Moreover, it's too tiring to live with such a person. It's not worth it. "
"You're wrong. It's not that I can't bear to part with money and status."
Wang Ke shook his head.
"That's true. If you go to Shanghai or other institutions, your development should be better. Cough, cough, cough … Then, what are you reluctant to part with?"
“
"My wife, and my daughter."
"Does that bastard count?"
Wang Ke's eyes suddenly widened, and a deep luster appeared in his eyes.
"You're rarely angry."
The man laughed hoarsely again. "It seems that this isn't an act of being a loving father. How did you hypnotize yourself to treat a child who isn't your daughter as your own daughter?"
"She is my daughter, Wang Ke.
No matter.
She.
Is a person.
Or a ghost! "
"Okay, okay, okay. She's your daughter. She's your precious daughter."
The man stood up and gritted his teeth.
"I'm a tiger. My teeth are about to loosen. I'm really afraid. I'm afraid that when you ask me to return the favor, my teeth won't be able to bite people to death."
As he spoke,
The man took out a pistol.
He waved it in front of Wang Ke and said,
"When you contacted me, I took it out. You know what it means to use a gun in the country."
Wang Ke looked at the man, his fingers lightly tapping on the table, and he said,
"When I contacted you, I didn't know about your situation. Until we met a while ago, I …"
"No need to talk nonsense. I owe you a favor. I owe you a favor. As long as I'm still alive, I should return it!
It's only right.
I've believed in this all my life.
"Even though I know that if I fire this gun, it might destroy everything that I've accumulated in the first half of my life and what my children want me to leave behind, I still don't regret it."
Wang Ke shrugged. The persuasion was just a gesture, not really for the sake of persuasion.
"It's been two years. If those two people die again, there shouldn't be a problem. At least, it won't attract too much attention. Moreover, if they find out, I can help you carry all the blame, and it won't fall on you."
The man put the gun back on the coffee table and sat back on the sofa. After standing for a while, he felt a little tired.
"The doctor told me to use crutches, but I can't use that thing. When I was young, I pointed at those old men who used crutches and told my brothers that if I had to use crutches to walk in the future, I would rather put the muzzle of a gun into my mouth and pull the trigger myself."
"Yes."
"However, when it comes to it, I suddenly realize that I'm at a disadvantage."
"What's Wrong?"
The man reached out and touched the muzzle of the gun on the coffee table.
"I can't use it anymore."
"Why?"
"Because the two people it was supposed to kill are already dead."
"Dead?"
Wang Ke slowly stood up.
"Did you get someone to kill them?"
"Heh …"
The man spread his legs and said with a smile,
"I got someone to investigate. After the two of them were released from prison, they quickly hooked up again. They actually called a few more people to go to the wild to dig graves.
In the end, they were unlucky and the two of them died inside.
The police..,
Are investigating this matter.
If I didn't know you, I would have thought that you looked down on me, a sick tiger, and paid for them to take revenge for you. "
"I didn't."
"I know you didn't, because you would have let the two of them die so easily. Back then, I also wanted to help you capture them and hand them over to you to deal with. I was a little angry, so I had to vent it myself. I used to lick blood from the tip of the knife, so I knew this principle the best."
"Clap!"
The man clapped his hands.
"But there's no other way now. Unless you go to hell and hook their souls back, there's really no other way. They've probably already reincarnated. Hahahaha …" Cough, cough, cough …
In the end.
You, Wang Ke, still couldn't take revenge with your own hands. "
"It's good that they're dead."
"Heh, I just can't stand your open-minded tone and attitude. F * ck, what are you pretending for? You've been pretending for so long that it's become your instinct, right? Aren't you tired?"
The man stood up and limped away.
"Gun," Wang Ke reminded him.
"It's a toy. I'll give it to your daughter to play with. The security check here is so strict. How can I bring a real guy in?
Don't you look like Satan? "
After the man left.
Wang Ke turned his head and looked at his wife, who was still sitting in the yard in a daze.
His wife seemed to have sensed something. She turned her head to look at Wang Ke and smiled at him.
"The meat soup is almost ready. We can start eating soon."
Wang Ke shouted.
"Okay, let's eat meat." His wife smiled happily.
Wang Ke put on his apron again.
He walked into the kitchen.
When he cut the last green onions and chives with a knife,
He looked at the knife.
He was stunned for a few seconds.
He muttered,
"Just like that … he died?"
… …
More than 20 years ago.
Tongcheng Port Qinzao Town Orphanage.
It was time to eat.
Each child was given a piece of preserved vegetable meat by the aunt. In this era, in this place, eating meat was indeed a very happy thing.
Although China was gradually getting rid of the era when they could not afford to eat meat, the conditions in the orphanage were always slower than those in the outside world.
The two children sat together to eat.
The older child stared at the piece of meat for a long time. Then, he picked up his chopsticks and put it in the bowl of the child who was smaller than him.
"Brother, aren't you going to eat?"
"No, you eat."
The shorter child did not stand on ceremony. He did not know how to be modest. He ate the two pieces of meat in his bowl happily. His lips were stained with oil.
"Ah Ze, I'm going to make money well in the future. I'm going to make a lot of money."
The short boy picked up the rice grains from his mouth and put them into his mouth. He asked casually,
"Why do you want to make money?"
"Make money to marry a wife."
"Why do you want to marry a wife?"
"After I marry a wife, I'll give her money and ask her to buy meat for me every day. She'll cook for me so that I can eat meat every day!"
"Is that what you mean by marrying a wife?"
"That's right. What's the use of marrying a wife who doesn't buy you meat to eat?
The concierge, Master Qin doesn't always show off to us.
He says that his old woman buys him meat every few days to cook braised pork.
So.
Marry a wife.
It's to earn money to buy meat for her! "
"Oh, I understand."
"Ah Ze, what about you?"
"Brother, you have meat, so I have meat too."
… …
In the forest.
The two walking corpses were still digging at high speed.
They didn't know fatigue.
They didn't know pain.
They only knew how to complete the orders from above.
The pit was going deeper at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Slowly, the beam structure of an ancient temple was revealed.
In the distance.
Officer Zhang Yanfeng, who had always been protected,
He felt as if his worldview had been blown to pieces.
From time to time, he would look at the two walking corpses who had walked out of the building.
From time to time, he would look at Zhou Ze, who was standing there motionless.
Big Brother.
Is this what you mean by protecting my worldview?
Is this what you mean by letting me continue to live a normal life?
You let me see this.
How can I live a normal life?
Under the ground.
The Earth Lord, who had already felt the chill on his head, was angry and shouting.
He scolded.
"You're committing a sin!
Committing a sin!
They invaded my temple and mausoleum. I killed them as a warning to others. It's only right and proper!
But I didn't imprison their souls and let them go to hell to reincarnate!
Their bodies and souls were connected.
Therefore, people paid the most attention to burying their bodies in peace after death, because this would affect the condition of their souls in hell.
Now, you've turned their bodies into walking corpses.
This was to make their souls lose the chance to reincarnate forever even in hell.
They would suffer the endless pain of purgatory.
